Britain's Defence Secretary Tells Ukraine That The U.K. Is Not An Amazon Delivery Service For Weapons To Ukraine

 

SKY News: UK not an Amazon delivery service for weapons to Ukraine, says defence secretary Ben Wallace 

The minister said "whether we like it or not people want to see gratitude" for weapons sent to Ukraine, adding that Kyiv needs to "persuade doubting politicians in other countries that you know that it's worth it". 

The UK is not an "Amazon" delivery service for weapons to Ukraine and Kyiv might be wise to let its supporters "see gratitude", Britain's defence secretary has said. 

 In a blunt intervention, Ben Wallace said his "counsel" to the Ukrainians was to keep in mind that they need to persuade some doubting politicians in Washington and other capitals that the tens of billions of pounds they are spending on military aid to their country for its war with Russia is worthwhile.
